Razzie Awards 2022 Nominations Include Space Jam Sequel, Ben Affleck And Lots Of Bruce Willis

By Russ Burlingame

The Golden Raspberry Awards released their list of 2022 nominees this morning, naming Diana the Musical, Space Jam: A New Legacy, Ben Affleck, and Bruce Willis among its candidates for Hollywood's worst of 2021. Well, them, and Bruce Willis. And Bruce Willis, Bruce Willis, Bruce Willis, Bruce Willis, Bruce Willis, and Bruce Willis. No kidding: the man got his own category this year. This year's Worst Picture nominees include: The Netflix version of Broadway's biggest bomb of the year, Diana the Musical (the stage version of which didn't even last 40 performances); straight-to-streaming time-travel movie Infinite, Karen, Space Jam: A New Legacy, and The Woman in the Window.

The Razzies are the Bizarro Oscars. With nominees announced on the same day the Academy Awards have theirs, the Golden Raspberry Awards hand out trophies shortly before Oscar night, and award the worst Hollywood has to offer. Famously, Halle Berry once accepted an award for Catwoman -- complete with a hilariously emotional speech -- and generated dozens of stories about the Oscar/Razzie winner.

You can see a teaser reel for the 2022 Razzies below.

Willi's special category, called simply "Worst Performance by Bruce Willis in a 2021 Movie," features 8 nominations for the actor, including every film he made last year. While the reviews for the movies themselves varied, more than one of them snuck onto a lot of "year's worst" lists, and none of them was the kind of movie that would be likely to get a theatrical release even if there wasn't a pandemic changing the face of Hollywood.

In 2021, Willis appeared in American Siege, Apex, Cosmic Sin, Deadlock, Fortress, Midnight in the Switchgrass, Out of Death, and Survive the Game.
